PolitiFact Hits Conservative Group as 'Mostly False' For True Claim
When it comes to "fact checking" conservatives, PolitiFact seems at war with plain English. The conservative group Americans for Prosperity offered an ad on Facebook criticizing Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) as he seeks re-election in a tough battle with Republican Gov. Jim Justice."The Inflation Reduction Act led to higher taxes," the ad said. They ruled this is "Mostly False," when it's true…

After Crying ‘No Evidence,’ ABC/CBS/NBC Ignore Direct Payment to Biden
“No evidence” was the liberal media’s communal cry when House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and the other Republicans on the committee exposed the Biden family’s web of shell companies used to allegedly take in money for corrupt means.

PBS Won’t Trust Israel on Hospital: It’s ‘Carried Out Strikes' Before
On Wednesday’s edition of the PBS NewsHour concerning an errant Palestinian rocket that landed near a hospital in the Gaza Strip and killed many, show host Amna Nawaz offensively attempted to leave the question of responsibility open: Could the untrustworthy Israeli military still be blamed for the bombing?

After Hospital Explosion, Mitchell Labels The Squad 'Very Outspoken'
One day after arguing with GOP Rep. Mike Lawler that American media did not rush to repeat Hamas propaganda in the manner of Baghdad Bob on the Gaza hospital explosions, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell joined Friday’s Chris Jansing Reports to claim that The Squad has “been very outspoken” on the issue of Gaza in the aftermath of that event. That’s a funny way of saying "lied."
Stelter: Lack of 'Common Sense' Led to 'Atrocious' Gaza Reporting
“There is no defense here.” Even CNN’s former media janitor Brian Stelter couldn’t find it in him to throw rhetorical sawdust on the liberal media’s regurgitation of Hamas propaganda and misreporting of the blast at a hospital in Gaza. In a Wednesday appearance on NewsNation’s Dan Abrams Live, Stelter ripped into the media for their “atrocious” coverage of the blast and said they lacked “…
ABC, NBC Peddle New Fake News from Hamas, Claims Israel Bombed Church
Despite slowing back away from accepting Hamas’s lies and propaganda that Israel fired a rocket into a hospital (which was done by Islamic Jihad via a misfired rocket) and killed hundreds (which, at best, is dubious), ABC’s Good Morning America and NBC’s Today decided Friday to again shack up with the terrorist group by falsely claiming Israel had bombed a hospital crucial to the small numbers…
CNN And MSNBC Absurdly Compare Israel to Russia

Column: 'Reliable' Media Aren't Ashamed of Fake News on Gaza Hospital
The massive social-media companies have all employed “independent fact-checkers” to improve their public image. Democrats and their allied media outlets have lamented that too much “misinformation” is shared on their platforms. “Fact-checkers” flag questionable posts, and they get blocked or limited. None of this happens when left-wing media outlets commit their own misinformation. They won't…
NBC Whines About Backlash to Lefty Students Demanding Jewish Genocide
We have freedom of association in America and you are not entitled to a job. But NBC Nightly News spent part of their Thursday evening newscast whining that college students who sided with Hamas terrorists, chanted for Jewish genocide, and tore down posters dedicated to those kidnapped by Hamas were facing backlash from potential employers who didn't want to hire them. They even suggested this…

Nets Tiptoe from Hamas Lies on Hospital Fire, But Dial Up Sob Stories
Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC slowly backed away from blindly touting the false claims from the Palestinian Health Ministry (read: Hamas) that Israel was behind a rocket attack on a Gaza hospital (often labeled a deadly “blast” or “explosion), if only because their President in Joe Biden said so.
